Nominations for MJA Hilda Gage Judicial Excellence Award being accepted
Michigan Judges Association (“MJA”) President Annette Jurkiewicz Berry announced that the MJA is accepting nominations for its Hilda Gage Judicial Excellence Award.
Given annually, the award recognizes current or former Circuit or Court of Appeals Judges who have demonstrated exemplary service by excelling in trial and docket management, legal scholarship, and contributions to the profession and the community.
This is the second year MJA has given out the award. Last year, it was renamed to honor the late Hilda Gage. Judge Gage served with honor on the Court of Appeals and Oakland Circuit Bench before passing away in 2010. She was renowned for her courage and scholarship. She was the first female president of MJA and the first woman to chair the Judicial Tenure Commission.
The Hon. J. Richardson Johnson, of the Ninth Circuit Court in Kalamazoo, received the award last year in its inaugural year.
Judge Berry said that MJA seeks nominees who follow in Judge Gage’s footsteps by “serving their state and their communities with integrity, skill, and courage every day.”
Anyone can nominate a judge for the award. Nominating forms can be obtained on the Michigan Judges Association website at www.michiganjudgesassociation.org, or by calling MJA President-Elect Timothy G. Hicks at (231) 724-6337. The deadline for nomination is Wednesday, June 15.
